Hi, Juanita, and welcome :-) Yep. Many hypos here have the same problems as you. You will find plenty of good information to get your virtual teeth into :-) For your antibodies, search posts for Hashimoto's.

Hi Juanita, most people with hypothyroidism have antibodies (Hashimoto's) some have low antibodies others have high. Mine were over 1000 on my latest test, not sure of the actual number because the lab's range ended at 1000. But I've heard of people with much higher antibodies than that too! It's fairly common :)
